Comment(by schmatzler):

 I still had problems with Pidgin 2.7.6 - copied the 2 certificates to
 usr/share/purple/ca-certs, but it didn't work. So I deleted them and
 restarted Pidgin.

 Looks like the "Microsoft Secure Server Authority" certificate will be
 automatically downloaded and set as "login.live.com" in Pidgin - but the
 "Microsoft Internet Authority" certificate will not be set automatically.

 Here is my fix: I went to https://omega.contacts.msn.com and clicked on
 the blue SSL-bar in Firefox. There I viewed the certificates and
 downloaded "MicrosoftInternetAuthority". I renamed this file to
 "omega.contacts.msn.com" and placed it into
 ~/.purple/certificates/x509/tls_peers - now it works.
